Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation
Dietary intervention increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake through food sources like fatty fish, flaxseed, and walnuts, or medical-grade supplements. This helps restore balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Saturated and trans fat reduction
Dietary modification to reduce intake of saturated and trans fats that compete with unsaturated fatty acids for metabolic pathways. Focus on whole foods and cooking methods that preserve healthy fats.
Additional treatment options
Regular aerobic exercise
Structured physical activity program to improve fatty acid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Regular exercise helps optimize the body's utilization of different fatty acid types.
lifestyleLipid profile and fatty acid analysis
Comprehensive laboratory monitoring including detailed fatty acid panel to track treatment progress and adjust interventions. Regular reassessment helps optimize therapeutic response.
monitoringPlant-based omega supplements
